DEFECTS

The defect examples in Insight have been compiled by some of the best inspectors across the country,
scouring a library of millions of photos.

For each item in a home, Insight will show you what a typical component should look like; provide a list of the common defects;
show you photos and illustrations of what the defect looks like, and provide suggested wording to include in your report.
